TRAI seeks authorisation from MeitY to act against call management apps: Sources

Telecom regulator TRAI has sought authorisation from the IT ministry to act against call management apps like Truecaller, sources aware of the development said.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has already floated a draft regulation to tighten the noose on pesky and fraudulent calls with a provision to regulate call management apps – a move which has been countered by caller identification app Truecaller CEO Rishit Jhunjhunwala.
